Lady Danna Retro & Vintage

I have very few 1930s-style clothes in my wardrobe, and as for the really vintage things of those times, in general, only hats.  It's sad, because I love this period very much. I like long dresses, skirts and coats, as well as capes and raincoats.  While finding a vintage and even "a la" vintage outerwear is problematic, it is possible to reproduce lighter outfits in the style of the 1930s with the help of things from later times.  For example, in the same 1970s, stylizations "a la" the 1930s were fashionable.  Therefore, there are dresses from that period that, accompanied by the right accessories, will help to recreate the look of a fatal beauty or a Hollywood diva of the 1930s.

I wear jacket by French brand "Fouks". As always, I tried to find out something about it. At one time, this brand was famous and its models were placed in famous fashion magazines. Coat by "Fouks" was published in: Vogue Paris, October 1958. Coat by Armand Fouks on page 60 in Queen, December 1964. Also in Jeanloup Sieff: 40 Years of Photography, Taschen, Cologne, 1996, p. 73 (variante) and "Appearances: Fashion Photography Since 1945" by Martin Harrison, 1991.
